How did they know it was exactly what I needed?
“While they are at your side, love these little ones to the uttermost. Forget yourself. Serve them; care for them; lavish all your tenderness on them ....Love them and win their love, and shower on them all the treasures of your heart. Fill up their days with happiness, and share with them their mirth and innocent delights. Childhood is but for a day. Ere you are aware it will be gone with all its gifts for ever.” ~George Townshend

Homecoming
After a fairly wretched day at work I arrived home to the sound of Bayan joyfully heralding my arrival by banging on the window and squeeling in delight, lots of enthusiastic hugs and kisses from Anisa and a pile of presents that Ruhi ran off to collect. Ruhi had written a note (To Mum: mum here is some candy for you. Love Ruhi) in which she wrapped partially eaten candy teeth (I got two. That was lucky because she and Anisa were able to each have an extra tooth each. I won't go into extra details. The less you know, the better.) and a flower she found on the way home from school. Wanting to get in on the gift-giving action Anisa quickly presented me with a princess she had colored in, a picture she had drawn and a pink, play-doh, tree (that missed the photo-op).

Sweet!! Not just the candy teeth, either.
